Welcome To The Latest Chapter Of Alebrije Sentai Lucharanger, Like I Said Before I'm taking A Break From Kamen Rider LL To Allow This Story To Catch Up, But Don't Worry, I'll Get Back To It Once I'm Ready. Anyway, Enjoy! I Own Nothing!

At night, a jewelry store in Great Lakes City was minding it's own business when a large gust of wind swept through the door, robbing the place of everything in stock. As soon as the gust had left, the jewelry store was completely empty. Meanwhile, in an alleyway, Cocidia was standing atop a large pile of jewels and other valuable items. "I should have done this first thing upon being released!" She said as Orgullo smacked her upside the head. "Ow!" Cocidia complained. "I realize you're the Pecadiablo of Greed, but how is this supposed to help us?!" The Pecadiablo of Pride asked. That's when a whirlwind entered the building and then changed back into its true form; a male humanoid demon with a thin body and a youthful face as well as large bat wings on his back and his skin looks like stone. Plus, he had tree vines wrapped around his body and his hair was made out of shrubs. He was also carrying a large burlap sack that appeared to be filled with stuff. "Relax, brother dear. It's all part of my plan. Iracundo tells me about a particularly greedy boy in Ceasar Chavez's elementary school, and the kicker, he's LuchaPurple's cousin." Cocidia said, holding up a gem from the Demon's latest heist. "I figured with Spriggust's talents, and my magic, we could hypnotize the young boy into serving us and fighting against the Lucharangers!" She revealed.

"Plus, since my face and voice are already like that of a human kid, I can easily disguise myself as one and infiltrate the school, so that I would pretend to be friends with that boy and make it easier for him to be hypnotized!" Spriggust added as he then spun around and changed his appearance to a tallish twelve-year-old human boy with spikey brown hair and wearing a yellow Hawaiian shirt, a pair of tan shorts, and a pair of brown sandals while also wearing a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses on top of his head, a golden watch on his wrist, and a golden bling necklace around his neck that had a gold pendant shaped like a dollar sign. "Interesting." Orgullo said. "While I'm at it, I'd better come up with a name for my human identity, so that nobody gets suspicious! I think I'll go with Spencer Tempest!" Spriggust said. "Certainly better than the aliases you came up for us, Orgullo." Cocidia taunted. Orgullo grumbled.

The Next Day, At Ceasar Chavez...

Everyone was abuzz at the news of the two new Lucharangers. Images of both LuchaGold and LuchaSilver were all over everyone's cellphones. "Whoa! LuchaGold looks really cool!" Said a random boy. "And LuchaSilver looks really pretty, especially since she's got a D-Cup sized chest despite appearing to be ten years old!" Said a random girl. "Well, it seems that some people have more common sense than Jim Sparkletooth." Sid said as she and Ronnie Anne were passing by. "I just hope Carl takes this in stride. You know how he can get." Ronnie Anne said. "Can't be worse than Magnifalcougar. When we were kids, I was always having to save his butt from all kinds of perilous situations." Jaxondor said, rubbing her temples. "Yeesh! It's that bad, huh?" Ronnie Anne asked. "You have no idea." Ailuxucara said. "Thankfully, I never had that kind of problem with Lunastura. She didn't really have that many friends. Too shy I guess." The Panda/Swallowtail Butterfly/Goldfish Alebrije said. "Well, Adelaide isn't really shy like Lunastura, but she is a sweet-hearted girl, to say the least! Plus, she's good at karate and she's also tougher than Carl!" Sid noted.

"I'm just glad Lunastura finally has someone with a positive light in her life and why is Carl standing amongst those kids smiling like that?" Ailuxucara asked in concern. "I don't know, but I've got a feeling we need to intervene." Ronnie Anne said. "So who do you think LuchaGold and LuchaSilver are, Carl?" One random kid asked Carl. "Well, as a matter of fact." Carl said, starting to roll up his sleeve concealing his Lucha Changer. However, before he could get too far, Ronnie Anne grabbed Carl by the hoodie and dragged him away. "Sorry, boys. Carl has some 'prior obligations'." Ronnie Anne said. As Ronnie Anne dragged him away, Carl yelled "PRIMA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" in complaint. "I should be asking you that same question. Our identities as the Lucharangers needs to be on a 'need to know' basis! We don't want Jim Sparkletooth harassing us any worse than he already is!" Ronnie Anne said. "Plus the Pecadiablos can take on human form. We don't know who is an actual human and who is one of them in disguise!" Sid said. "Oh! Come On! It doesn't hurt to have my identity as LuchaGold be revealed to my adoring fans!" Carl complained. "We can't take that risk, Carl." Ronnie Anne said as Magnifalcougar appeared on Carl's shoulders. "Aw, you're no fun! No wonder Jaxondor chose to bond with you!" The Cougar/Peregrine Falcon/Fire Goby Alebrije complained.

"Don't make me shock you again, little brother!" Jaxondor said in annoyance. "Why can't you be like Adelaide. She isn't eager to tell anyone her identity." Sid asked, pointing to Adelaide, who had actually put up stickers of LuchaSilver on the inside of her locker to add to the illusion. "Well to be fair, there are a few key differences between Adelaide and LuchaSilver." Carl said. "Specifically, the fact that LuchaSilver is taller and actually has pechos (breasts)!" He added. "I would be offended if that weren't true!" Adelaide replied after hearing that. "Plus, everyone's believing LuchaSilver to be 10 years old, so I'd have a hard time convincing anyone even if I wanted to." Adelaide said as Lunastura was in her locker. "Especially since she keeps her Lucha Changer in this locked box." The Rabbit/Luna Moth/Lake Sturgeon Alebrije said atop a locked box with a heart on it. "Yeah, well, I would rather keep my Lucha Changer on my wrist, cause, to me, it's more convenient than leaving it in a locker!" Carl noted.

"Yeah, well just try to stay out of trouble!" Ronnie Anne said, dropping him as the bell rang, signaling everyone to head to class. Of course, as Ronnie Anne and her friends went to their class while Carl and Adelaide went to their own classes, none of them realized that their entire conversation was overheard by Iracundo, in his 'Eric Kendall' guise, and his messenger bat. "Oh, this just got more interesting." He said as the bat flew off. "Your plan had better work, Cocidia." He said as Spriggust, in his 'Spencer Tempest' disguise walked by. "Oh! There you are! Cocidia sent me here as part of her plan!" Spriggust said to Iracundo. Iracundo looked him up and down. "You couldn't have picked a more inconspicuous disguise?" Iracundo asked. "It was the first thing that I can think of!" Spriggust admitted. "Of Course!" Iracundo said with a roll of his eyes. "Anyway, since you're here I might as well tell you what I found out before I sent my messenger bat to Cocidia! Apparently, Carl Casagrande, LuchaPurple's greedy cousin, is actually LuchaGold!" Iracundo informed, much to Spriggust's surprise. "Oh, maybe I could use that to my advantage!" Spriggust said. "Exactly what I was thinking! He went down that hall, you can't miss him. He has a faux pompadour and is wearing a stupid red hoodie." Iracundo explained.

"Good! But, unfortunately, my human guise is that of a twelve-year-old and that means that I can't attend the same class as Carl, so I'll have to meet him in the cafeteria instead!" Spriggust said, much to Iracundo's chagrin. "Excuse me, why aren't you in class?!" An angry voice asked the two as they turned to see Principal Valenzuela with her hands on her hips. That caused both Iracundo and Spriggust to get startled. "And who is that with you, Eric?!" Principal Valenzuela asked further. "Oh, uh." Iracundo started saying before Spriggust got a brilliant idea by blowing some sort of dust in Principal Valenzuela's face, causing her to fall asleep. "Magic powder. She won't remember a second of this interaction once she wakes up." Spriggust explained. "Thanks for the save! In the meantime, how about that you go with me to the same class that the Lucharangers are attending?" Iracundo asked. "Good idea, but we'd better hurry." Spriggust said. "Why?" Iracundo asked. "Because the powder's sleep effect only lasts a minute and we've already wasted half of it talking." Spriggust explained. That's when they heard Principal Valenzuela groaning. No sooner did they heard that, Iracundo and Spriggust immediately ran for it like Shaggy and Scooby-Doo.

Meanwhile at the Kendall Apartment...

"The boy we're targeting is LuchaGold?!" Cocidia asked Iracundo's messenger bat, who simply nodded. "And LuchaSilver is actually LuchaBlue's younger sister Adelaide?!" She asked further, to which the bat nodded in confirmation. "Wow! I didn't expect either of them being LuchaGold and LuchaSilver, especially since both of them appear to be ten-year-olds rather than an eight-year-old and a six-year-old, respectively! Not to mention the fact that LuchaSilver actually has breasts in addition to being taller!" Cocidia noted. "It would seem this AkaRed guy has access to some sort of magic that helps with that." Envidia said. "Hmmm! That would explain that!" Cocidia replied. "Anyway, the revelation that LuchaPurple's greedy cousin is actually LuchaGold might actually give us an advantage!" She added. "Uh, there's still one problem! The Alebrije he's partnered with, and I seriously doubt he'd be as easy to hypnotize as LuchaGold." Pereza pointed out. "Hmm! You're right, Pereza! We're going to need to find a way to have Magnifalcougar hypnotized as well! If not, then we will just capture and torture him until he gives in to our demands!" Cocidia replied. She then took a look at the Pecadiablo of Sloth. "I don't suppose you have a soldier who's excellent at tricks and traps, would you?" Cocidia asked.

Meanwhile, at school...

"Man, can you believe Ronnie Anne?" Carl asked Magnifalcougar. "Yeah! She's just as strict as my sister! She really needs to take what you humans call a chill pill!" Magnifalcougar replied. "They're just looking out for you guys." Adelaide pointed out, passing by the table Carl and Magnifalcougar were at. "We don't need them to look after us!" Carl said as Adelaide rolled her eyes. "Whatever, just remember to show up at the temple later for training." Adelaide said, leaving. "Fine!" Carl and Magnifalcougar said as Adelaide left. Soon, Spriggust and Iracundo, in their human disguises saw Carl at his table from afar. 'This is my chance!' He thought to himself as he approached Carl and sat down, with Magnifalcougar disappearing beforehand. "Hey! How's it going! The name's Spencer Tempest! I've just arrived here! What's yours?" Spriggust asked while introducing himself to Carl. "I'm Carl, pleasure to meet you! Nice bling! Talk about Muy Guapo!" Carl said. "Thanks! Bought it myself!" 'Spencer' replied. Spriggust chuckled internally. 'Working like a charm! Soon, LuchaGold will be on our side!' He thought to himself. "So, you want to come and hang out with me after school?" 'Spencer' asked. "Sure! I'd be glad to!" Carl answered. "Perfect! Meet me outside the gates and I will show you where to hang out at!" Said 'Spencer' as he then walked away from the table. "Okay then, see ya later!" Carl said. "Uh, Carl? Are you sure about this? Something about this kid seems, off." Magnifalcougar said.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about him! He seems like a cool guy! Besides, I might even become best friends with him, if I'm lucky enough!" Said Carl. "Okay, I hope you know what you are doing! And just in case, I'll come along with you!" Magnifalcougar replied. "Fine by me, Magni!" Said Carl as he then resumed eating his lunch.

Later that day, at the temple...

The Lucharangers, minus Carl, were in their training uniforms, Adelaide's being black with silver linings, stretching. "So, you're both girls?" Axolota asked Ronnie Anne and Sid. "Yeah." Ronnie Anne said. "Last I checked." Sid said. "And you're both in a romantic relationship, with each other?" Axolota asked in curiosity. "Yeah, it's a bit of a long story!" Said Ronnie Anne. "But we're happy, so it doesn't matter." Sid said, gazing lovingly at Ronnie Anne, who proceeded to peck her on the lips. "Huh. Things certainly have changed in the last 5,000 years." Axolota noted. "Hey, has anyone seen Magnifalcougar? I can't sense him anywhere." Jaxondor noted. "Come to think of it, neither have I!" Lunastura noted. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Carl at all since lunch today." Adelaide said. "I even told him to show up at the temple for training before I ate!" She added. Ronnie Anne groaned, approaching her bag. "Hang on, let me call him." She said, pulling out her phone and dialing Carl's number. However, when she tried to call Carl, all Ronnie Anne got was his voicemail. "Hey, it's Carl! You know what to do!" He said as the beep rang out. "Okay, you think you're smart do you? Well there's one thing that doesn't have voicemail." Ronnie Anne said, putting her phone aside and unrolling her sleeve with her Lucha Changer.

Meanwhile, with Carl...

He was walking alongside 'Spencer' as the latter was leading him somewhere. He then heard his phone ringing. "Is something wrong?" 'Spencer' asked as Carl pulled out his phone, noticing it was Ronnie Anne. "*SIGH!* It's my cousin! She probably wants to know where I am! But, I'm not in the mood to answer her call right now!" Carl answered as he then declined the call. A few seconds later, a beeping sound could be heard. "Now what?" Carl asked as he noticed his phone was off when he saw that his Lucha Changer was the source of the beeping. "Is everything alright?" 'Spencer' asked. "Yeah, it's just my stupid watch malfunctioning. Wait right here, I'll go and try to fix it." Carl said, going to a nearby tree. After trying to find a way to turn the beeping off, Carl found a button on the side that said "Silence Mode" on it and immediately pressed it, causing the Lucha Changer to stop beeping. "Seriously, Carl?" Ronnie Anne said in frustration. "Why did you even put a silence mode in these things?" Sid asked AkaRed. "To be honest, it's in case if any of you are at a movie theater!" AkaRed admitted.

"Although now that I think about it, that may not have been the best idea." AkaRed added as Ronnie Anne sighed in frustration, pushing a button on her changer, allowing a map to pop up. "Come on, guys. Let's go find him." She said. "Right!" Said the rest of the Lucharangers as they followed Ronnie Anne's lead. Meanwhile, Spencer had lead Carl to a large mansion. "Woah! This is where you live?!" Carl asked in surprise. "Yep! If I wasn't a rich kid, I wouldn't be even living in a mansion, let alone afford the bling!" 'Spencer' answered with a grin. However, Magnifalcougar looked confused. 'Why are they talking like this about a warehouse?' He asked himself as he was able to see through the illusion that was placed on a warehouse. "Shall we go inside?" 'Spencer' asked. "Yeah! Of course! Lead the way, my good man!" Carl answered in excitement as 'Spencer' lead Carl right inside of the building. 'Spencer' then whispered something into the collar of his shirt. "The falcon is in the nest. Prepare the snare." He whispered into a communicator.

"Got It!" Cocidia answered quietly as she and a soldier of Pereza, who resembles a large muscular troll with stone-like skin, a big bulbous nose, and large bat-like wings on his back, were building a snare trap in another area of the building. "You know what to do, right Trollax?" Cocidia asked. "LuchaGold enter building, Trollax throw spirit snare, capture Alebrije." Trollex said in a gruff voice. "Glad you understand, Trollax!" Said Cocidia. "You moron. Couldn't Pereza have lent me a smarter soldier?" Cocidia muttered as 'Spencer' lead Carl inside. "Wow! This place looks even bigger on the inside!" Carl said in amazement as he saw the interior of the building that believed to be a mansion. Magnifalcougar looked confused as Trollax tossed his snare that passed right through Carl, capturing the Alebrije. "What The?!" Magnifalcougar said in surprise as he was then dragged all the way to Cocidia and Trollax via a rope connected to the snare. "PECADIABLOS?! You won't get away with this!" Magnifalcougar said, trying to phase through, only to receive a zap. "Sorry, Alebrije. That's a spirit snare. They're designed to capture beings like you." Cocidia taunted.

"*Snicker!* Alebrije trapped, big time!" Trollax said in a snicker. "What do you want, Cocidia?!" Magnifalcougar asked. "Do you really need to ask? Right now as we speak, Spriggust is leading LuchaGold to a special room I have filled with jewelry I have placed a spell that takes advantage of people's greed. The stronger the greed in a person's heart, the stronger the control I have on them!" Cocidia said. "Spriggust? Wait a minute! Spencer Tempest is actually a Pecadiablo?! I Knew There Was Something off About Him!" Magnifalcougar said in realization. "That's right." Cocidia said, casting a spell that plastered tape over Magnifalcougar's beak, sealing it shut. "And to meet sure that you don't warn him, I insist that you keep your beak shut!" She added before laughing a little. "Woah!" Carl said as 'Spencer' lead him to a room full of jewelry. "My sister Carlota would lose it in here!" Carl said. "Like what you see? Well, truth be told, I am a enthusiast in both jewelry and precious metals!" 'Spencer' said as picked up a handful of jewelry and then presented to Carl. "Want to hold and admire this jewelry?" 'Spencer' asked. "Do I Ever?!" Carl answered as 'Spencer' then placed the jewelry in Carl's hands.

As Carl looked into the jewel, an aura shined into his eyes, which soon became blank. Outside, the Lucharangers had arrived at the warehouse. "This is where Carl is?" Adelaide asked. "According to the tracker in his Lucha Changer he is." Ronnie Anne said. "Lucharangers! Be careful! I'm sensing three Pecadiablos in that building, and Cocidia is one of them!" AkaRed said over the communicator. "Cocidia?! The demon of greed?! Oh No! Not Her!" Lunastura said in horror. "What's so bad about her?" Adelaide asked. "You mean besides being one of the leaders of the Pecadiablos?" Jaxondor asked rhetorically. "She has powers over the element of lightning, and powerful magic that's especially dangerous for people who's hearts are full of greed!" Ailuxucara said. "And what exactly does that magic do those kind of people?" Ronnie Anne asked nervously. "Well it depends. Her favorite spell is a brainwashing spell. She's able to cast it onto an object of high value, and when someone with a lot of greed in their heart stares into it, the spell transfers over to them. The more greed in the person's heart, the stronger the control Cocidia has over them." Batelegong explained. The Lucharangers immediately knew what that meant.

"Oh No! Carl is greedy and if Cocidia is doing what I think she's doing, then she's actually planning to controlling him like a puppet!" Sameer said in realization. "I'm afraid it gets worse. I'm sensing Magnifalcougar, and he's surrounded by Cocidia and one Pecadiablo, while Carl is with the other!" Jaxondor said. That caused the Lucharangers to gasp in horror. "We need to save them!" Ronnie Anne said. "Lulu and I can teleport to where Magni is being held and rescue him!" Adelaide volunteered. "All right, but be careful." Sid said. "You too, Lunastura!" Said Ailuxucara. "We will!" Adelaide and Lunastura assured. "Lucha Power!" The seven shouted, transforming into the Lucharangers. Adelaide teleported while the others ran in. As soon as the main six Lucharangers went inside of the building, they all saw Cocidia and Trollax with Magnifalcougar as the gold Alebrije was all tied up and gagged in a spirit snare. "Cocidia!" Ronnie Anne said angrily. "Lucharangers. So glad you could be here!" Cocidia said. "Woah, who invited Mr. Ugly over there?" Laird asked, noticing Trollax. "Yellow man insult Trollax. Trollax crush yellow man." Trollax said, cracking his knuckles.

"This big guy here is Trollax, one of Pereza's soldiers! She let me borrow him for my plan!" Cocidia explained. "Trollax crush colored humans?" Trollax asked eagerly. "Tempting, but I no longer have any use for you. Just go back to Pereza, and I'll let my pawns handle them!" Cocidia instructed Trollax before snapping her fingers, causing him to disappear. "What did she mean by pawns?" Nikki asked in confusion. Suddenly a huge gust of wind entered the room. Despite not wearing skirts, Ronnie Anne, Sid, and Nikki instinctively covered their lower halves while Casey and Sameer stood their ground and Laird got sent crashing into a nearby wall. "*Groan!* I'm Okay!" Said Laird. "Where did that wind come from?" Nikki asked. "Right here, Lucharangers!" Spriggust, now in his true form, said. "Oh great him." Jaxondor said annoyed. "You know who this guy is, Jax?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Spriggust. He's incredibly fast and annoying, his only real powers are the abilities to create gusts of wind and fly on them." Jaxondor explained.

"He's also one of Cocidia's soldiers, due to his tendency to steal jewels and precious metals for her!" She added. "Huh, I do seem to remember hearing stories on the news about jewelry stores getting robbed by gusts of wind." Laird noted. "Your intuition is correct, LuchaYellow. And it's all part of my plan for this!" Cocidia said as Carl, wearing a golden necklace, with a blank look in his eyes walked in. That caused the Lucharangers to gasp in shock. "What's wrong, LuchaPurple? Surprised to see your precious cousin, Carl? Or should I say, LuchaGold?" Cocidia asked with a cackle. "What the?! How did you even know about that?!" Ronnie Anne asked in shock. "That's on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know!" Cocidia said as Carl unleashed a bright, albeit powered down version of LuchaGold's light attack at the Lucharangers. That caused the Lucharangers to be knocked back from the blast. Cocidia started laughing. "Get them!" She ordered Spriggust and Carl. "Jax, is there any way to free Carl from Cocidia's brainwashing?" Ronnie Anne asked. "If we locate and destroy the valuable object he looked into, that should do it." Jaxondor said.

"That is a good idea, Jax! Though, the question is, what does that object look like and where is it?" Ronnie Anne pondered. "You'll never get the chance to find out, Lucharangers!" Spriggust declared as he then unleashed a whirlwind while Carl unleashed a Solar Beam attack, causing the Lucharangers to be sucked into the whirlwind before they were then struck by the solar attack and fell to the ground, forcing them to detransform. "Well, that necklace is a good place to start!" Sid said as Cocidia continued laughing. "No one treats my sister like that and gets away with it!" Adelaide said as she started to try and sneak up to Cocidia and grab the snare Magnifalcougar was in. However, Cocidia quickly noticed Adelaide's presence and stopped her by shooting out a bolt of lightning and electrocuting her, causing Adelaide to scream in pain. "Well, well, well. If it isn't LuchaSilver? Or should I say, Adelaide Chang!" Cocidia said. That caused Adelaide to gasp in shock while still in pain. "Take care of them! I've got the brat!" Cocidia said, continuing to zap Adelaide. "You got it boss!" Spriggust said as he and Carl continued to advance. However, before he could do anything, an arrow hit Spriggust in the gut. Everyone looked to see AkaRed in his Spade Ace form holding the Spade Arts Power Bow in his hands, Mambana and Axolota by his side.

"AkaRed! Mambana! Axolota! Thank Goodness, You're All Here!" Ronnie Anne said in a sigh of relief while she and the others were still on the ground. "Wherever there is evil, a Super Sentai will be there to stop them!" AkaRed said, firing the bow, unleashing an arrow at the necklace Carl was wearing, knocking it off his neck and destroying it. Unfortunately, Cocidia's control was still strong. "Oh, that's not good!" Ronnie Anne said. "What? Did you honestly think I'd put the weakness to my plan around his neck?! How stupid do you think I am?!" Cocidia asked rhetorically while continuing to zap Adelaide. "Mambana! Help Adelaide! Axolota, find and destroy the item that's keeping Carl under Cocidia's control! I'll help the others! Soul Korin! Super GekiRed!" AkaRed said, entering the secondary mode of GekiRed. "Right! But first, to get everyone else back on their feet!" Said Axolota as she then chanted and unleashed a green mist that instantly healed the Lucharangers upon coming into contact with them. "Thanks Axolota!" Ronnie Anne said as she and Mambana went to their respective missions and AkaRed fired up the jet boosters on his suit and slammed the GekiClaw into Spriggust, reeling him back. "Let's get back in there, guys! Lucha Power!" Ronnie Anne shouted, the others following suit. After transforming back into their Lucharanger suits, Ronnie Anne and her friends rushed in to AkaRed's side.

While that was going on, Mambana slithered up to where Cocidia was and attacked her, sinking her fangs into the arm that held onto the snare Magnifalcougar was being held in. "OW!" Cocidia yelled in pain, causing her electrocute Mambana in retaliation. "You should consider yourself lucky, demon. That was a dry bite. It only takes so much as two drops of a Black Mamba's venom to kill a full grown adult human! And that's only with a normal Black Mamba!" Mambana said, launching herself and biting the arm that Cocidia was using to attack Adelaide. This time, Mambana managed to sink her fangs deep into Cocidia's arm,causing Cocidia to yell out in pain and stop attacking Adelaide while also accidentally letting go of Magnifalcougar. "Adelaide, are you okay?" Mambana asked, slithering over to LuchaSilver. "Yeah, I'll be fine." Adelaide said, raising her hands above her head, performing Lunastura's healing moon ability on herself. While that was happening, Cocidia was starting to feel sick as the venom from Mambana's bite was starting to effect her. Afterwards, Mambana and Adelaide managed to free Magnifalcougar from the spirit snare and remove the tape from his beak.

"Dang it! I need to get this treated! This isn't over!" Cocidia said, disappearing. "Well that's one problem taken care of! Axolota, how are you doing?!" Mambana asked as Axolota kept smashing jewelry with a hammer AkaRed had made for her. "Not so good! I must have smashed 30 pieces of jewelry and Carl is still under Cocidia's control!" She complained. "And even worse, there's thousands more types of jewelry in this room, so it would take forever before I can find the right one! If only there's an easier way to find the valuable object that Carl looked into!" She added. "I don't suppose you saw what it was, did you, Magni?" Adelaide asked. "Unfortunately, no, I didn't! Mainly due to Cocidia and Trollax capturing me in that spirit snare before Carl even entered that room!" Magnifalcougar admitted. Sighing in frustration, Adelaide pulled out a key with the Lupinranger symbol on it. Then, after she inserted the key, twisted it, and rang the bell twice, Adelaide gained a belt with the Lupinranger symbol on it and a silver version of LupinRed's helmet. "So which do you want?" Adelaide asked Mambana, pulling out the VS Changer. "Gun?" She asked, pulling out the Lupin Sword. "Or sword?" She asked.

"Hmm! I'll take the sword!" Mambana answered. "Great!" Adelaide said, handing the blade to Mambana. "Now come on. We've got a lot of jewelry to destroy." She said, using the Lupinrangers' signature zipline to get to the treasure room, Mambana slithering after her. "I'll try and get Carl to snap back to his senses!" Magnifalcougar said, flying towards the other. Meanwhile, the main six Lucharangers and AkaRed were fighting against Spriggust and Carl, though they were trying not to hurt the latter. "Carl, try to snap out of it!" Ronnie Anne said, using her water powers on the ground Carl was walking on. The wet ground managed to slow Carl down, but only slightly. While that was going on, AkaRed was attacking Spriggust with the GekiClaw and Geki Saber. "Okay, then! Time for me to kick things up a notch!" Said Spriggust as he then spun around incredibly fast before he then unleashed several energy slashes from his wings at AkaRed, similar to the Pokemon Flying-Type move Air Cutter. AkaRed crossed the blades of both the GekiClaw and GekiSaber. He then sent out a crossed energy slash in order to counter Spriggust's energy slashes.

While that was going on, Adelaide, Axolota, and Mambana were still using their weapons to destroy the jewelry in an effort to find the one that cursed Carl. "Man! Trying to that valuable object is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!" Adelaide complained. To help more, she had pulled out a silver version of the Lupin Magnum and was firing at the piles of jewelry. Unfortunately, despite all of that, Carl was still under that curse. "It's got to be here somewhere!" Mambana said, slashing the Lupin Sword repeatedly. "What did Carl stare into?!" AkaRed asked Spriggust angrily. "Hah! If you think that I would willingly reveal what the valuable object actually is, just so you can undo Lady Cocidia's plan, then you are dead wrong!" Spriggust answered in a smug tone. "Then you leave me no choice! Soul Korin! Shishi Red!" AkaRed shouted, transforming into Shishi Red, and aiming his Seiza Blaster in a seemingly random direction, before firing. After firing in that random direction, the energy blast ricocheted all around the warehouse until it reached the area where the piles of jewelry were before it finally hit a large white diamond that immediately shattered to pieces.

Amazingly, once the diamond was shattered, so was the spell placed on Carl. "Huh? What happened?" He asked in confusion. "And that, children, is how it's done!" AkaRed said. "Great! Just one question: If you could do that all along, why didn't you do so before we wasted all of these valuable items?!" Adelaide asked angrily. "That's because Shishi Red's natural luck is one of the strongest, most unpredictable, and dangerous powers in the Super Sentai arsenal!" AkaRed explained. "Plus, where would the fun be in just taking the easy way out?" He asked, laughing. "Where did you find this guy again?" Adelaide asked her sister and sister's lover. "Actually, he found us." Sid said. "We're not sure ourselves." Ronnie Anne said. *Groan* "My head." Carl complained. "Carl! Thank goodness, you're back to your senses!" Ronnie Anne said as she hugged Carl, much to his confusion. Ronnie Anne then broke the hug and smacked Carl upside the head. "DON'T WORRY ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" She angrily declared. "OW! Okay, Okay! I'm Sorry! I just wanted to hang with that new kid at school, Spencer Tempest, and I didn't want you to bother me, that's all!" Carl explained in apology.

"You couldn't have answered either of my calls to tell me that why?" Ronnie Anne asked, as she and Jaxondor both glared at him. "She's got a point there." Magnifalcougar pointed out. "Dang It! You're right! I should have let you know what I was doing in the first place! I'm Sorry!" Carl said in apology. "And to make it worse, you proved my earlier point about being careful who knows your identity correct! Because not only does the Pecadiablos know you're LuchaGold and Adelaide's LuchaSilver, but you fell for a trap created by Cocidia!" Ronnie Anne said, pointing to Spriggust. "Uh Oh!" Said Spriggust. "Wait a minute! That face! That voice! Spencer?! You're a Pecadiablo?!" Carl asked in realization and horror. "Yeah, that's right! I'm a Pecadiablo!" Spriggust answered as he then spun around and changed into his human identity before he then changed back, much to everyone's surprise. "And my real name is Spriggust! Spencer Tempest is just a name that I came up with for my human disguise, just so that nobody gets suspicious! Which actually paid off, since I was able to easily trick you into Cocidia's trap via a diamond that had a spell placed on it that would cause anyone with greedy hearts to be placed under Cocidia's mind control after staring into it!" He added, much to Carl's anger. "That tears it!" Carl said. "Lucha Power!" Carl said, becoming LuchaGold as a bright light emanated from his body. "Carl, Magnifalcougar, wait! If you use your Supernova mode, after 30 seconds, you can't do anything afterwards, remember?!" Jaxondor said. "I don't care!" Carl said, rushing forward and punching Spriggust in the gut. "NOBODY TRICKS ME LIKE THAT AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" Carl angrily yelled as he rapidly punched Spriggust multiple times before he then hit him in the face with one more punch as his fist was covered in solar energy, similar to the Energy Punch from the "Dragonball" franchise.

"Is he always like this?" Ronnie Anne and Jaxondor asked each other, obviously referring to Magnifalcougar and Carl respectively. "Yeah, Carl doesn't like being deceived in anyway!" Ronnie Anne answered. "And Magnifalcougar has always been the type to be like this." Jaxondor said as the 30 seconds were up, leaving Carl frozen. However, all the damage that Carl did to Spriggust paid off as Spriggust all bruised up and dizzy from the punches. "Nice one, Carl!" Ronnie Anne said. "Thanks. How long do I have to wait again?" Carl asked. "Two minutes." Jaxondor answered. "Dang it." Carl said. "Don't worry, Carl. We'll take it from here. Storm!" Ronnie Anne said.

"Sound!"
"Metal!
"Sand!"
"Crystal!"
"Mind!"
"Lunar!"

"Summon, LuchaCannon!" The seven shouted, summoning a seven barreled LuchaCannon. As the seven Lucharangers aimed the LuchaCannon at Spriggust, the Spriggan-themed Pecadiablo got out of his dizziness and noticed the huge weapon aimed right at him. "Uh oh." Spriggust said in fear as Ronnie Anne pulled the trigger. "Fire!" Ronnie Anne shouted as the LuchaCannon fired out a seven-colored beam of light that hit Spriggust dead center, causing him to explode. The Lucharangers all celebrated. "Let this be a lesson, Carl. I'm leader of this team for a reason. If I'm calling you, either via phone or Lucha Changer, there's likely a good reason for it!" Ronnie Anne said. "*Sigh!* You're right, Prima! I'm So Sorry! Will you ever forgive me?" Carl asked after apologizing. "Of course. I'll just find a way to punish you later, but for now." Ronnie Anne said as Spriggust grew. "Try and catch me now, Lucharangers!" Spriggust said, running at incredible speeds. "LuchaKaiser is lighter and faster than LuchaKing, so when Carl's able to move again, let us handle it!" Adelaide volunteered.

"Right! Thanks, Adelaide!" Said Ronnie Anne. "In the meantime. Alebrije Henkei!" Adelaide said, transforming into her Alebrije mech form. "I'll keep him busy!" She said, taking to the skies, chasing after Spriggust. "Dang it!" Carl said, trying to move, only to fall over like an Army man toy. "Perhaps that would teach you to be more patient with your Supernova Mode when in battle!" Ronnie Anne said while giggling at Carl. "Don't worry, Carl. You've got about 15 seconds left." Batelegong said. "Anyways, Carl, I hope that this experience of yours will help you realize that it doesn't pay to be greedy! After all, greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins for a good reason!" Jaxondor said. "Yeah, yeah. I get it." Carl said. "Get used to it, he does this all the time." Ronnie Anne said. "Don't you have some French kissing to do with Sid or something?" Carl asked Ronnie Anne. "Not until 4." Sid said as the time was up and Carl got back up. "All right, it's my time to shine! Alebrije Henkei!" Carl said, taking on the form of his Magnifalcougar mech.

As soon as Carl flew off, Sid then asked Ronnie Anne "You are going call your family and tell them about what happened today, right?". " Yep!" Ronnie Anne answered as she then pulled out her phone and dialed the number to her apartment. "Hey, Tia Frida? Yeah, Carl's greed got the better of him again." Ronnie Anne informed her maternal Aunt by marriage. "Alebrije Gattai!" Carl said as he caught up to Adelaide. Afterwards, the gold and silver Alebrije mechs quickly combined into LuchaKaiser, which immediately sped up and then caught up with Spriggust. "Solar Lariat!" Carl said as LuchaKaiser slammed into Spriggust, taking him down to the ground. "Skyring, descend!" Adelaide said as LuchaKaiser pulled its two swords, summoning the Skyring, this one resembling more of a traditional UFC/MMA octagon rather than the wrestling ring that LuchaKing summons. The original six Lucharangers looked at AkaRed in confusion. "Thought it'd be cool." He explained. "Can't argue with that." Sameer said as LuchaKaiser literally dragged Spriggust up into the skyring. As soon is got to the Sky Ring, LuchaKaiser immediately dropped Spriggust onto the floor before it then body-slammed him.

Spriggust got up to his feet after LuchaKaiser got up. "Lunar Sweep!" Adelaide said as LuchaKaiser swept him off his feet and performing a piledriver on the Pecadiablo. "OOOOOH! THAT SMARTS!" Spriggust shouted in pain. "Not as much as this will!" Carl said as LuchaKaiser unsheathed it's swords while Ronnie Anne realized something. "Laird! Get up there!" She told him. "What?!" Laird asked. "Carl and Adelaide don't understand the risks that come with sealing the Pecadiablos, and don't have the lock! You need to get up there and deliver it to Spriggust's essence!" Ronnie Anne explained. "Holy Toledo! You're Right!" Laird said in realization. Laird pulled out the lock. "Alebrije Henkei!" He shouted, flying up to the Skyring as LuchaKaiser prepared it's finisher. "Eclipse X-Slash!" Carl and Adelaide shouted. Then, LuchaKaiser made a double energy slash that formed an 'X' and cut right through Spriggust. That caused Spriggust to shout "LOOKS LIKE I'M GONE WITH THE WIND!", right before then exploded. Laird then tossed the lock into the cloud that was Spriggust's essence. Afterwards, the lock opened its mouth and sucked up all of Spriggust's essence before it then closed its mouth and burped in satisfaction. "Okay, first thing you guys need to know about fighting the Pecadiablos at this size, if you don't seal them immediately, they reform." Laird said.

Later That Day...

Ronnie Anne, Sid, Carl, and Adelaide were all walking down the hall that separates the two Casagrandes' apartments. "I hope this encounter has taught you something, Carl." Ronnie Anne said as Carl hung by his apartment door. "Yeah! Not to trust a new kid so easily!" Carl answered with a depressed look. "At least Axolota was able to use her magic to repair all the stolen jewelry and purge the magic Cocidia placed on them." Sid said as Ronnie Anne pushed a button on her phone, which made a sound letting her know that a text was sent. "Uh, who did you just text?" Carl asked curiously. "No one, I just sent Tia Frida a message letting her know you were home and at the door." Ronnie Anne said. "Wait, what?" Carl asked in confusion as he then opened the door to see Hector, Rosa, Carlos, Frida, and Maria, who are all quite angry at him. "CARLINO CASAGRANDE!" They all yelled in anger. "I also told them everything that happened while you were fighting Spriggust." Ronnie Anne said as Frida grabbed him by the shirt collar and dragged him inside while Cocidia, in her Corrina Kendall disguise walked out, her arms in bandages.

Ronnie Anne, Sid, and Adelaide took notice of 'Corrina' and they were quite shocked to see her in her injured state. "Whoa! Corrina?! What on Earth happened to you?!" Ronnie Anne asked in concern. "I had a not so pleasant encounter with a wild animal. Fortunately, your mom was able to patch me up." 'Corrina' said. "Ooh! Sorry to hear that, Corrina!" Ronnie Anne replied. "What kind of animal was it?" Sid asked. Cocidia tried to think of a believable lie. "Was it those cats?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Oh, yes. Adorable, but insanely vicious!" 'Corrina' said. "I also got bitten by a snake on the way here as well!" She added. Everyone cringed. "Well, I should probably get home. Nice seeing you girls!" 'Corrina' said. "You too, Corrina!" Sid said as Adelaide noticed something. A few of the bandages on one arm were on very familiar places. She remembered what she had heard Sid talk about earlier. 'The Pecadiablos can take human form. We don't know who is an actual human and who is one of them in disguise!' Adelaide remembered as she realized the bandages were in the same pattern as Mambana's fangs when she had bit Cocidia. "Adelaide, are you okay?" Sid asked. "Yeah, it's probably nothing." Adelaide said.

Then, Adelaide turned her eyes at 'Corrina' and thought to herself 'Or Is It?' with suspicion before she then turned her eyes back at Sid. As Ronnie Anne, Sid, and Adelaide, along with their Alebrije partners, entered the apartment, they all see Hector, Rosa, Carlos, Frida, and Maria give Carl a very stern lecture. "Carlino, what you have done is both reckless and incredibly stupid!" Maria said. "Not only did you ignore Ronalda's call twice, but you've gotten yourself caught and hypnotized by those Pecadiablos!" Hector said in anger. "The very thought of you being controlled by those demons like puppet scares me so much that it makes me want to cry!" Frida said in anger while tearing up before she then burst out into tears while upset. "From now on, whenever you get call from Ronalda or any member of our familia, you must answer it immediately!" Rosa said in a stern tone. "As for your punishment, you're grounded for the rest of the week, so you can think hard about what you have done today!" Carlos said in an angry glare while holding his glasses in a serious manner. "And you will be cleaning the floor of the Mercado every day when you come home from school during that time!" Hector said, handing Carl a mop.

"Yes, Dad! Yes, Abuelo!" Carl said in a depressed manner before he then starts crying in sadness while bursting a river of tears from his eyes. "Those better be authentic tears, because if it's another one of your tricks, the punishment will extend to all of next week too." Frida said. "Dang it." Carl said. "Oh, he's good." Jaxondor said. "He once tricked our school principal out of her job and into the hall monitor job." Ronnie Anne said. "And that was when he used the game of chess to his own advantage against everyone!" She added. "Well at least we can call this a step forward!" Sid said. "True that, my love." Ronnie Anne said, kissing Sid on the cheek, causing her to blush.
